T1059.001 PowerShell
T1204.002 Malicious File
The sample is a PowerPoint file containing VBA macros. The critical heuristic firing indicates the use of the Shell() function, which is commonly used to execute arbitrary commands or download and run additional payloads. The presence of an Auto_Close macro further suggests that the malicious code is designed to execute automatically when the presentation is closed. No specific family could be identified, and no external IOCs were extracted.
